Belgian cable operator Telenet plans to submit formal objections to draft regulatory proposals that would see its network opened up to competitors.
According to Telenet, the proposals are not needed because the market is still largely dominated by incumbent Belgacom, which is already closely regulated.
In a statement published on Telenet’s website, the company said it ‘is strongly convinced that there is no need for further regulation of the Belgian television and internet market and hence will submit its arguments and proposals for amendment prior to February 18, 2011, according to the procedure’.
The proposals were published on Monday by Belgian regulator IBPT to open up distribution services on both cable and IPTV. It also outlines plans to grant wholesale access to analog TV and broadband services on cable to competitors.
